On behalf of the WIDA Consortium, the Illinois State Board of Education applied for and was awarded an enhanced assessment grant in October 2010:
to develop and implement academic Spanish language development (SLD) standards for students in PreKindergarten through 12th grade, addressing Social & Instructional Language, the Language of Language Arts, Language of Mathematics, Language of Science, and Language of Social Studies
to develop a technology mediated, reliable, and valid Spanish language proficiency assessment for Kindergarten and Grades 1-2* based on those standards
to develop a screener test for obtaining baseline measurements of students' Spanish language proficiency for Grades K-2*
* WIDA is currently seeking additional funding to extend SLD assessment to grades 3-12. Through use of these standards and assessments, educators will gain knowledge about academic Spanish language development and their students' progress, and will be able to shape instruction and develop curriculum to enable students to achieve high academic standards in Spanish. The standards and assessment will be applicable to any student receiving content area instruction in Spanish regardless of their native language. The PODER (Prueba Óptima del Desarrollo del Español Realizado) assessment will be developed by the Center for Applied Linguistics on behalf of WIDA. Initial piloting and field testing of PODER will occur in multiple sites, including Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
